Please be as critical as possible. I won't take any comments the wrong way. Thanks!
In a 300-word paper, please describe how your extracurricular activities and leadership experience have prepared you to be an active contributor to, and engaged participant in, the Rotman Commerce community.
My extensive volunteering experience sprouted as a chore.
I joined the school service club in grade nine, which provided various opportunities for volunteer work throughout the year. With the sole objective of completing my community service hours required by the school, I attended the first event of the year: Parent Walkabout, an opportunity for parents to meet their children's teachers. I was in for a pleasant surprise.
Not only did I meet many new friends, but we united as a team in helping the parents. The feeling of connectedness between us- it was amazing, a beautiful feeling of content that was hardly describable. Furthermore, to this day, I continue to remember the delight I experienced as I helped the first parent I met that evening to her child's classroom, receiving a gratifying thank you and a brilliant smile.
The club presidents change yearly. However, I was never happy with certain aspects of the management of the club. The club meetings lacked overall structure, the leaders were hard to locate on event day, and there was no way for the members to track if their hours are being recorded correctly. I wanted change. Thus, I took action. Anxiously, I applied for the position of president for the largest club in school. I was successful.
Even as its president, I continue to learn from the club. I am constantly awed at the abilities of the club members. Knowing that university communities contain even more talent simply thrills me! I would like to extend my attitude towards learning and positive change to the Rotman Commerce community. I will be an active participant, taking initiative in achieving my ideals. I am confident that I can bring about energy, creativity, and individuality to the Rotman Commerce community when I hopefully arrive on campus this September.
